Radiology administrators may need to rethink their responsibilities in light of the generation gap. They should provide leadership for the broader changes to come by listening to staff members both as individuals and as representatives of their generation. Administrators can restore harmony by getting people focused on mission instead of personalities. They should get every person's input about missions, goals and roles; promote ongoing dialogue; and seek buy-in. The administrator must be sensitive to the potential of each group. He should direct each individual to discover and attain his or her full potentials and guide individuals to levels of accomplishment that they might not otherwise reach.
